I wonder how long before some idiot pops in and starts talking about testosterone and rednecks with pickups.

There are many articles on the internet where people can learn the origins of the term assault rifle, so I wont go into that here. Nor will I get into the topic of gun control effectiveness. Larry Correia has done such a good job here that anything I add would be redundant. You keep using that word. I dont think it means what you think it means Inigo Montoya The Princess Bride.
So what am I going on about, you may ask? There are only two correct ways to define what is or is not an assault rifle.

The military defines an assault rifle as a lightweight, intermediate caliber select fire rifle. Quite the mouthful isnt it. Broken down into everyday terms, it means you can carry it for a long time because it is light weight. Intermediate caliber refers to a cartridge between the full power rifle and the pistol, and you get more ammunition for the same weight compared to full power rifles.
